what the main question is why do this when all you had to do was cancel out pro passes and leave regular battles and increase the funds .. which would bring it all back to the way it was last Oct 2015 when the changes started to happen..

Because it would've been a mighty fine mess if we'd done that. And you'll come to the same conclusion if you just give it some thought.

sorry i can see the issues all ready happening .. and not going to say other then what has been said .. besides another blunder waiting to happen

 

also it would help if you had a female on the Dev's team.. so she can see the whole picture ..

if a non pro pass player have a missoin (earn 300 experience in polygon) and there is no polygon map battle running then how he complete his mission???

This is terrible.

 

Tanki is basically soaking us for crystals for something that had always been part of the game (at least since I joined, about two years ago).

 

The less-commonly-used maps are now doomed to total obscurity.

 

I have been slowly working my way alphabetically through all the maps. Now it looks like I might not be able to afford even that.

 

The only decent thing about this change is dropping the price for the lower ranks, although 150 cry is still a pretty stiff bite for a recruit. To be fairer to the lower ranks, the rise in price should be exponential, like most prices in Tanki, and not linear.

 

There are all sorts of situations where I want a small battle with a friend, and now we each have to blow away more than 4000 cry, at my present rank, to be able to do that.

 

What's next? Are they going to make Pro Pass a real-money-only thing like the user-dropped gold box? (I know - I shouldn't give them ideas like that, because they're likely to implement them...)

 

I've used pro pass a few times. One thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the rudeness of some of the players. Things like being told to leave an xp/bp battle because I'm not yet an expert with railgun. Sorry, but where am I supposed to learn how to use railgun other than xp/bp battles? These were pick-up games, open to anyone with Pro Pass or Premium and the proper equipment. If you want to pick and choose your teammates, create an invitation-only battle, or join clan games.

 

The last series of "updates" has, for the most part, been pretty bad, and this one is among the worst.

 

How about asking us what we think before dumping this stuff on us?

It's 500 crys for a recruit. Besides, Railgun is a good turret, even if you're in a normal battle.

I'm sure they have some females working for them :)

There will always be Polygon battles running...;) But lets say he has a mission for another map. Cedric said Hazel said they will either remove or change map-based missions, or I think, a good idea is to program the map-creating algorithm to create at least one battle per map after server restart.

[Lankero 595]

Yeah, talking about "simplifying" the game. 

 

Tanki, usually simplifying means making things simple and easier, but now you've just screwed up the whole thing that was one of the only things that has been well "designed" from the game launch in 2009. But now you just made it a lot worse, I mean why not keep the old system?

Did you create the Ossa (sp) battle last night?  First time I've ever been on that map.  I like it.

The worst update after rebalance!

 

You people are making the game worse for non-buyers and say that "It'll make the game better". The problem given as your excuse is faced only by low-ranked tankers. The Battle button became famous just like a usual update because new things seem to interest people.It's not necessary that people definitely like the update. Stop making a fool of tankers, they have brains and know what is a genuine reoason and what is a way to earn money. You did the same in rebalance, made the game worse. But not now! It is the choice of Tankers whether they want to play battles for their rank or a higher rank. They'll find it better to struggle for some time (maimum 3 minutes) to find a good battle rather than joining battle half-heartedly  You can't instruct them to play battles made by others.I have been saving for Hornet and now you will force me to spend crystals, rather, waste crystals on this foolish update. Why only me? The whole tanker community is saving and will now have to do away with too many crystals (even 500 is expensive if you have earned it by playing and not by buying). Don't put this update. DONT!

exactly

Reply from : "That will be really weird. If that will keep occurring, map related mission will be removed. We created missions to be doable during normal play. If they will be no longer doable, we'll change them"

First time? Osa is amazing. I've played a sum total of 3 battles on it across all accounts :lol:

I mainly played on Osa during the GAME that involved it

I hope the map-creation system gives us some (okay, just one) Osas :unsure:

I'll revive that map after Duality  B)

[GeeVuh 1,647]

...or maybe everybody just wants to try this new feature? :rolleyes: If you'd read the topic about the "Battle" button you'd see everybody made fun of it :lol:

Well not everyone who plays is on the forum

XD if you notice my previous posts, i actually hate this update

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

Those mults and saboteurs will never know what hit them.
They'll never be able to find a player to sabotage or get invited to a battle to mult now.
 
Hang on...
This does nothi...  What?
 
Looks like Cedric's promise of a replacement kick system this fall was a bit previous!
 

Programmers are planning on re-introducing team kick for PRO battles this fall, and are working on an improved anti-cheat system (of which I have no details at all unfortunately)

Hate to say I told you so but I told you so.

[theFiringHand 21,351]

Hey all, I'm gonna call it a night. I'm just making it official in case the conspiracy theorists start thinking that I ran away and left my mods alone to defend the fort lol.

 

Talk tomorrow... once I manage to catch up with 3 or 4 dozen pages of posts  :D

This needs to end. The useless, game-changing upgrades. Downgrades, I say. A lot of the upgrades are steering TO towards spending real money to play, no matter what admins thell here on the forum. I have played a lot less since the last big rebalance and the main reason is that the balance was changed way too much. I have been around for quite some time and have seen a lot of upgrades. Some of them good, some of them bad but mostly in between. But this? You may be able to attract some new players, but you end up loosing a lot of old players. Players like me, who are just fed up with the constant upgrades, changes and nerfs. All these require players to re-learn the tactics again and again and after a few times, it just gets too annoying and time consuming.

 

Yes, you the devs have the power to change the game anyway you like, but continue this and you will have a dying game in your hands. That can create a little panic when you realize that since the amount of players is going down, there income starts to diminish and that means that people will get fired. And that can cause even more panic to save what is left of the game with some real drastic actions that could be the death blow to everything. I sincerely hope this does not come to pass, but you have to really consider the future upgrades. There has been too many big upgrades recently.
